Location and neighbourhood

Vastral and Odhav lie on the eastern edge of Ahmedabad. This is a residential and industrial zone, far from the walled city. Vastral is the eastern terminus of the metro's Blue Line. Odhav is known for its factories and workshops. The area has wide roads and newer apartment blocks. You will find local markets and small eateries here. The pace is slower than the city centre. It is a practical base if you need to be near the eastern suburbs or the industrial belt. The Sabarmati River is several kilometres west. Most visitors will travel into the old city or other districts for sightseeing.

The neighbourhoods are connected by main roads and the metro. The eastern suburbs have a growing number of residential complexes. Odhav's industrial estates mean some traffic during shift changes. Vastral has a large lake that is a local landmark. The area is not a tourist destination itself. It works well as a quiet place to stay while exploring Ahmedabad. The metro station at Vastral makes it easy to reach the centre. Autos and app cabs are available on the main roads. The area has a few parks and local markets for daily needs.

Getting there and around

From Hotel Sun Shine, you are around 8.9 km from the airport and around 9.1 km from the city centre. The Vastral metro station on the Blue Line is the easiest way to reach the centre. Trains run frequently towards Thaltej and connect to the Red Line. Autos and app cabs are available on the main roads. BRTS buses also serve parts of the area.

Nearby sights and food

The main sights of Ahmedabad require a metro or cab ride from this area. Head to the walled city for the Jama Masjid, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque and the pols. The Sabarmati Ashram is about 30 minutes away by metro and a short walk. The Calico Museum of Textiles needs a pre-booked guided tour. Kankaria Lake is closer than the old city and has a zoo and a children's park. The Adalaj stepwell is north of the city, about 40 minutes by road. Plan your sightseeing around the metro line.

The area has many small vegetarian restaurants and street stalls. You can find dhokla, khaman, fafda and jalebi at local snack shops. Gujarati thali places are common in the market streets. Undhiyu is a winter speciality. Law Garden and the old city's night food stalls are further west but worth an evening trip for food. Most places serve only vegetarian food, as Gujarat is a dry state. Check the current rules on alcohol permits. Stick to bottled water. The food here is affordable and freshly made.
